Calbindin

Calbindin D-28k

ABOUT THIS ANTIBODY

anti-Calbindin recognises a calcium-binding protein of the EF-hand family related to calmodulin and troponin-C. This antibody labels the olfactory epithelia, trigeminal nerve, and cells in the optic tectum and pretectum.

Calretinin

Calretinin

Rabbit anti-calretinin

ABOUT THIS ANTIBODY

anti-calretinin labels neurons expressing the calcium binding protein calretinin.

Calcium-binding preoteins contribute to calcium homeostasis by buffering intercellular calcium. This antibody labels distinct groups of neurons in the central and peripheral nervous system.
